I have been struggling with my weight all my life. When I was a teenager I did my first diet – The Military Diet. You basically just eat a small piece of cheese, drink black coffee and eat a cracker, from what I remember. The second extreme diet I tried was drinking Almased for 2 weeks straight, right before prom. I had a crush on this guy and I wanted to look good for him. I managed to lose a good amount of weight by starving, but he ended up dancing with some other girl.
Around last year I did my first 6 day juice cleanse and let me tell you, it definitely wasn’t easy. I remember saying “I won’t be doing that ever again” yet here I am, aiming for a 7 day juice cleanse. I think it’s wild that my weight is almost the exact same; I am 168 cm tall and I started out with 74.7 kg / 164.7 lbs.
My main motivation is to get rid of my sugar cravings. I have a huge sweet tooth and have been struggling with a Binge Eating Disorder almost all my life. It doesn’t help that I have also been diagnosed with Lypedema, meaning losing weight doesn’t come easy to me and I also want to change my diet into an anti-inflammatory diet. I hope that this 7 day juice cleanse will help me shred a few extra pounds and reset my body & soul to change my eating habits for good. (more…)
